salam!
So ‘Haldi (Tumeric Powder)’ is a vital ingredient in desi cooking. but why? I have heard my mom talk about how it has healing benefits (i.e. when someone is injured or weak they are given haldi dood). It does nothing for a dish flavor-wise, then why is it used in some dishes and not in others? moong masoor ki daal for example.
Just wondering what exactly is the purpose of this ancient ingredient :]
Re: Haldi (Tumeric Powder)
Oh its wrong it does nothing to flavor. If used appropriately it gives artoma as well as flavor. Haldi, we use as one of our traditional spices and not really for the benefits of it. Though its one of those 'desi' ingredients that are becoming popular in west. Mostly, we would put it for the color sake.
Re: Haldi (Tumeric Powder)
well relative to other spices, it does very little for flavor.
